To all. whom it may concern:

Be it knovn that I, Gvsnv Tnnssunnu'rnn, engineer, a subject of theEmperor of Germany, and a resident of Plan Ufer 60, Berlin, Germany,have invented new and useful Improvements in-or Relating to Revolvers;and I do hereby declare the tollowingto be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to characters of reference markedthereon, which form a partof this specification.

This present invention relates to a revolver arranged in the handle ofawalking-stick,u mbrolla, or the like.' The construction of the revolveris particularly distinguished by all its constitutive parts beingarranged in a comparatively limited space.

In the drawings, Fign re 1 is a top plan view of the handle of awalking-stick containing the'rovolver. Fig. 2 is an elevation of thelatter with thelside removed. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation with theoppositeside wall removed. Fig. 4 shows the revolver ready forliring,the parts being partly in section. Fig. 5 shows the same positionof the tirini. parts from the opposite side. Fig. 6 is the revolverafter tiring with the trigger still under the influence of the finger.Fig. 7 is a front ele- Fig. 8 shows the revolver-cylinder charged with acartridge and under the influence of the feeding lover or pawl. Fig. 9is a vertical section on the line A B of Fig. 3, and Figs. 10 and 11 aredetails of the mechanism.

The revolver consists of two parts 1 and 2 of a metal frame that formthe cane-handle disposed at right angles to the stick portion of thecane, the part 2 being in rigid connection with the support orstick-socket 3, while the part 1 can he turned upward about a hinge 4.Between the parts 1 and 2 is rotatably arranged a cartridge-cylinder 5,provided on its rear side with teeth or notches 6. A horizontal bolt 3,screwed into the vertical cross-wall 7, serves as a support for thecylinder, and a flat spring 47 is preferably arranged above the latterwith the object of preventing it from having too much free play and toact as a brake upon it. The rear por- The listplate-l i is under-theinfluenceofa strong flat spring 16 and is provided with a vertical slot37, in which is guided the pin 18. of a pivotally-monnted plate 20,tulcrnmell at 19. Moreover, the flat plate 14 carries ol' a adjacent tothe cylinder the feedingjo pawl 22, mounted upon a small stud 21 andextending through a slot23, Fig. 10', in the wall 24 and engaging withthe teeth don the cylinder 5 and being constantly pressed forwardby asmall spring 25.

The upper part of the flat plate 14 has an offset 26, which is one levelwith the lower end of a small spring-controlled bell-crank lever 27.This lever is mounted on a list plate 28, the forwardcnd 0! which isshaped to form the percussion-bolt 29, while its rear" end serves as anabutment 46 for the plate 20. This plate 28 is guided horizontally bymeans of a pin 30, workingin n. slot 32 intha wall 31, Fig. 3. A red 34with a strongspiral spring 33 and capable of extending through anopening 34 into the metal frame 1 forms the extension of the plate 28.

For feeding and locking the cylinder with its-cartridges 36 a bellcranklever 38, fulo crumed at 37, is arranged on the narrowpor tion of thewall 24. This lever is operated by the pin 30, extending through theslot 32, Fig. 3, said pin pressing the rear endof the bell-crank lever38 after overcoming the tension of the spring 39, in an upwarddirection, whereby the other end engages with the projection 40 in oneof the series of recesses 41 around the cyiindcr 5, thereby locking thelatter. This arrangement prevents the cylinder from further rotation tothe right, while its rotation in the other direction is prevented by thecontinuous engagement of the paw 22 with the teeth of the cylinder.

operation of the revolver is as follows: detaching the parts 1, 2, and 3of the g by depressing the button 44, Fig. 3, e catch-hook 43 42 thepart 1 is turned its hinge 4 in the upward direction. enabling theoperator to charge the rer. Afterresettingthecnsingthe trigger broughtinto position. (Shown in Figs.

3.) New on embracing the neclcporif the stick with the hand the trigger11, her with the list plate 1-1., is brought by s oi. the thumb into theposition ready ing,and the belt 28 is brought intoa like on onovercoming the springs 16 and 33 e offset 26 and the bell-crank lever27. e'smne time the plate 20, arranged bethe flat plate 14, is carriedalong in the 7, and its upper part is thus displaced a right orforwardly. In the same way awl 22 is raised on account of the rotatheflat plate 14 about its pivot and gaging with the teeth of the cylinder'thelatter to the extent of one cartridgeion in the direction of thearrow Fig. 8. to same time the cylinder is released the locking-lever38, as the tension of pring 39 is no longer opposed, Figs. 4 The firingis eilected as soon as the 26 has passed the lever-arm 27. The l spring33 is thus released, and the per- )n-bclt 29 is driven through theopening L0 the cart ridge, which, however, is only )le when the plate isturned forward to flat plate 14, and consequently the nent 46 of thepercussion-bolt finds its clear on its return after firing the cara,Fig. 6. At the same moment the cylis locked again and only aftercomreleasing the trigger 11 does the mechl in connection with the latterreturn r the influence of the flat spring 16 to .tial position. Theplate 20 takes again rtical position and presses the percuswolt carrier28 slightly to the left and l the percussion-bolt into the opening andout of the path of the cartridge-head. Finally, it may be remarked thatall constructive details of the revolver are covered up byprotecting-plates 48, which by means of screws 49, Fig. 4, or the likeare connected 50 together.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent-- 1.- In a revolver for a cane, the 'combination, of acane-handle frame comprising two parts hinged together and having acentral socket portion forming the handle of the re volver, means forlocking said parts in closed position, a barrel formed in one of saidparts, a cylinder, firing mechanism arranged inthe other of said parts,and a trigger operated in forward direction to actuate the firingmechanism, substantially as set forth.

2. In a revolver mechanism fora cane, the combination, with a handle, ota. rat cylinder having circumferential notches, a pivotally-niountedspring-actuated flat plate, an adjustable trigger attached thereto,said; flat plate being slotted, a plate pi'v'otally 7o mounted andhaving a pin guided in the slot of said fist plate, means connected withsaid flat plate for rotating said cylinder, 0 springactuatedlongitudinally-movable percussiom bolt, an abutment on said(percussion-bolt 15 adapted to cooperate with sai plate, aspringcontrolled le"er adapted to engage with the notches of saidcylinder, means on said percussion-bolt for actuating said lever, and

means on said flat plate for actuating said percussion-bolt,substantially as set forth. In testimony that I claim the foregoing asmy invention I have signed my name in pm once of subscribing witnesses.1
